This Fall-2014, two major events ConneXions and
the Final Year Project (FYP) symposium were held to award the
students for their yearlong academic project/research.

The ConneXions event was organized by the Computer Science Society (CSS)
at IBA to award three best projects in which projects from
universities all over Pakistan in including those at FCS were
exhibited. The top three projects received cash prizes of Rs. 40k,
20k and 10k. Following ConneXions, the FYP Symposium was held to
further evaluate the FCS student projects for the award of
department gold medal.

In both events the exhibits were judged based on interviews with
team members. The specific evaluation criteria include: requirements
analysis, understanding of the competitor products, utility of the
developed software/product, software design, software
demo/execution, project completion status, and professionalism and
presentation skills.

FYP Symposium Award

1st Position (GOLD
Medal)

Autonomous Hover of
QuadCopter

This research focuses upon achieving the stability of the
quadcopter in 3-D space. It’s main focus is on understanding
the mathematical model for the quadcopter. The mathematical
model is the base for the research. It has been integrated
with the PID (Proportional, Integral and Derivative)
controller. The model is first simulated in a mathematical
software (MATLAB) and then on the quadcopter.

CloudKibo is a complete video conferencing solution with
vision to make virtual classroom environment possible. The
system provides video and audio chat facilities to teachers
and students. Teacher can remotely deliver lecture using the
video broadcasting feature. Moreover, students can also hold
video conferences virtually for group studies. Student may
hold private video chat with a teacher too.

Chotu

The basic idea of the project is to add some “skills” to the
TurtleBot® and make it socially interactive. Robot Operating
System (ROS) is a collection of frameworks for the robot
software development. It serves as a meta-operating system
by providing services such as hardware abstraction,
low-level device control, message-passing between processes,
and package management. ROS is now an industry standard for
the research in the fields of Robotics and AI. It has vast
applications in both commercial and research.

The design and implementation of a mobile application that
will notify the customers of TPL-Trakker about the traffic
situation on roads that fall in their way.

Energy Monitoring and Controlling
System

A system which will efficiently monitor the usage of energy
resources in classrooms, faculty offices and labs within
different buildings of IBA. The system will be using the
technology of wireless sensor networks and plus designing a
backend software which will analyze the data from the
sensors and will show results accordingly on a web panel.
